“The thing I love about this place is that there aren’t lots of rows of concrete cells with dogs imprisoned … that’s the normal for an animal shelter,” says Goodall.

“It’s continuing my vision of a better world for all. If I didn’t have to raise every single penny for trying to keep our projects going in chimpanzee sanctuaries, I would have sponsored one of these enclosures and named it for my dog Rusty who taught me, long before I met the chimpanzees, that animals have personalities, minds and feelings.”

The Mbezi Beach centre, which will operate solely on donations, is to be a role model for how animals are supposed to be treated, says TAWESO chairman William Kwalazi.

“We have a ‘one health’ approach,” says Kwalazi, “the health of humans is connected to the health of animals and the environment.”

Hilton says that concept is echoed in the TAWESO’s slogan: Tupo Pamoja.

“It’s a very cruel reality for animals in Tanzania and we want to breed a generation of people who live in harmony with animals.”
